Zizians Docuseries Set At HBO

HBO Documentary Films has begun production on a documentary series exploring the Zizians, a cult-like enigmatic group of young technologists linked to a series of violent crimes across the U.S. between 2022 and 2025.

Based on reporting by Tessa Stuart for Rolling Stone, the as-yet untitled series, directed by Matthew Galkin (One Night in Idaho, Murder in the Bayou) and produced by XTR in collaboration with Rolling Stone Films, will debut on HBO and will stream on HBO Max. A premiere date TBA.

Per HBO, the untitled access-driven series will trace the group’s origins and evolution, examining how it formed, operated, and attracted attention for its extreme ideology and alleged violence. It will explore the Zizians’ unusual convergence of AI safety concerns, radical veganism, and the broader cultural and technological forces that helped shape its trajectory.

Jenna M. Kelly serves as showrunner and executive producer, along with Justin Lacob, Matthew Cherchio and Bryn Mooser for XTR; Alexandra Dale and Tessa Stuart for Rolling Stone Films. Zachary Drucker also serves as executive producer.
